[HTC Startrek] kissmine:
Did some searching on this forum on updating an i-mate smartflip and not having much luck figuring out which ROM for US English to use and how to load.

I tried loading ruu_star100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_cws_ship but I get error 294 Invalid Vendor ID which is not too surprising as I believe this is Cingular's ROM.

So I installed the registry editor and set the three policy values as documented and then executed SDA_ApplicationUnlock and again ruu_star100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_cws_ship.

Still get the same error regarding invalid vendor.

Sure would appreciate advice on the best or current ROM to replace what is on the i-mate Smartflip and steps I need to execute to get ROM to load.

Thanks in advance

[HTC Startrek] kissmine:
Yep I been thru the post of current ROMs and I have the i-mate ROM listed in that post on my phone, that is how it came in the package. Since I am not impressed with i-mate ROM I tried to replace it with the Cingular 3125 ROM thinking is runs better.

Just trying to figure out how to load either the Cingular or Qteck ROM.

Thanks
[HTC Startrek] XtreMe_G:
CID unlock your device, you wont be impressed with the other roms either. Get one of the wm6 roms.
[HTC Startrek] kissmine:
Thanks for the help.

I executed the app unlock, SuperCID, and loaded the WM6 ROM and I am in buissness.

Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 General] vettejock99:
Okay, so I've seen almost a dozen threads asking for comparisons, and maybe someone will do a table at some point, but I don't think one exists now. Anyway, many of the threads on this topic have been locked because they "degenerate into name calling" and "demotivate the devs if their ROM isn't the best". While both of those outcomes are bad, I think there is value in having some quick idea of who is running what and why, and while some of us may vote one way today and another tomorrow the poll feature appears to be the only way to quickly gauge the breakdown and to catch the large moves that will occur over time as some developers slow down on release schedules and others keep moving forward.

So I have never posted a poll in all my years in forums, but hopefully this will work out. Vote for your favorite, and then tell us why. Give EVERY dev the respect they are due, and emphasize what you like about your favorite ROM and what opportunities you've identified to improve it and possibly some of the others you don't run at the moment. This philosophy is why I made the question about that which is your favorite, not which is "best", which seems to be the word that starts the arguments.

I am currently running JesusFreke's 1.5 just to try it out; but I honestly find no difference between his build and Haykuro's 1.5Hr3 (Performance may be smoother/faster but it might be my imagination); however I have to give Haykuro his props because I was on Cupcake for a month before today's release thanks to him!
[G1 General] johnnylicious:
good job on this thread,

hope everyone keeps on topic and hope noobs don't make another thread about which cupcake build is better etc.

Im currently running JesusFreke 1.5 like many of us are, performance and speed no real different like fdisk81 said, both seem very stable and quick no lags what so ever.

Only thing i miss from Haykuro ADP 1.5 is the ability to install the HTC VK and use it together with the google VK along with the HTC widgets but its fine.

we'll probably be able to port them over also.

Overrall, all the builds are almost similar in looks and performance, its really basic on perference.
[G1 General] 4treyu:
Still on Haykuro's 5.02G here until JesusFreke gets more locales for his ADP 1.5.
[G1 General] Crazeybt1:
I usually don't do this but i had the Dude's and recently switched to JF's but i'm really missing the PDF reader .. anyone know how i can get it stand alone...i think they're both pretty good
[G1 General] Ersdal:
There are alot of PDF readers available on the market. Many are free and quite decent.

Thedudes' is great though. I haven't updated to JF yet, but I will as soon as there are more locales available.
[G1 General] bleomycin:
I keep ending up back with thedude's, no issues so far with a2sd, and the pdf reader is a must have for me.
[G1 General] Crazeybt1:
Thanks for the advice.. i did take a look at the market and tried what was free because i didn't want to pay for a possible dissapointment to find that the one included in the dude's build is pretty flawless and quick I think i might just end up switching back to his build..i'm gonna miss the speed of JF's build but oh well i'll be back
[G1 General] Dimath:
For me it's a lack of explanation in most of the builds. JF's build has a detailed changelog togeather with the build and that's the main reason I chouse that one.
[G1 General] MrADeveci:
I love Haykuro's roms ..... I was on JC RC9 before Hayuro came on the scene ....

Then last night I tried JF's 1.5 and I just didn't like it, I found it much slower and laggy to a point that I had to re-boot.

Back on 1.5Hr3 now .... with Apps 2 SD and it's perfect for me.

Props to all the devs.
[G1 General] jmon777:
I'm useing jf. I never used the others although I may try one of theme at some point. Honestly I kind of liked only haveing one main rom to chose from it made themeing easyer. But maybe that will change. But just want to say thanx to all the rom sages for there epic work. Each one of you has helped in same way the the g1 better
[G1 General] ei8htohms:
too early to tell

The problem with these polls is that the ROMs are changing too fast for the info to be of much use. For example, I've had great luck with Haykuro's and the Dude's builds but had a problem installing Haykuro 1.5H (for reasons unknown it sent me into a boot loop) and decided to try out the JF ADP 1.50 for awhile before giving Haykuro's 1.5 another try. Since then, Dude has modified at least one of his builds, and probably more than once, so I don't know what they might have to offer now. The only ROM that I'm reasonably sure that I know what it still does is the HTC ADP 1.5, which has presumably not changed since HTC posted it. :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but the modded G1 forums are embroiled in ecstatic chaos at the moment. :eek:
[G1 General] billc.cn:
tried jf for two days and finally decided to go back to the old 5.0.2H build. the adp builds may be faster and stabler, but not really as pretty and usable. the camera app is adp is just shockingly useless. latin ime may be smaller, but seems way too primitive. multi-touch may be a nice thing to have, but not really that useful.
[G1 General] jrherras:
I love any ROMs from JF because He will not release it until it's really stable and usable can't wait for the official update from t-mobile
[G1 General] Carloswithac:
Haykuro FTMFW!
[G1 General] siriuxs:
Please stay this thread up...
[G1 General] bryon13:
I'm using jf 1.5 with apps on SD. I really like the fact that most of the newer roms are using apps on sd as a standard, now (easy to set up, easy to undo).

The main reason I like JF roms is because they seem to be pretty stripped down & basic. I don't really have any use for the extra gadgets & whatnot. I want fast, stable, and rooted... I get that with jf. I haven't tried dude yet, but I might soon, as I'm hearing great things about it! I was using haykuro's 5.0.2h for a while, but went back to rc33 since (at that time) 5.0.2h had stability issues, and a lot of apps weren't designed for 1.5 yet. I really liked haykuro's build, aside from that (which was not his fault, it was a problem with the individual apps). I love the fact that we have so many options to choose from, and I wouldn't want anyone to stop hacking & developing android!

I know that things like "best" and "better" aren't rweally constructive, and I appreciate this poll because of what it accomplishes, but I must admit that it would be extremely helpful to have some sort of table/database/list of features & differences in the builds. They are all fantastic, but some features suit some better than others, and the ability to look at those features, and make an educated decision would be awesome!

Thank you to all of the devs working to make android better! You are awesome!!!

Just my 2 cents...
[G1 General] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Haykuro's 1.5Hr3 FTW. Tried moving to the JF build and had to flash back about an hour later because it was going significantly slower than Haykuro's and a lot more apps were crashing. After flashing back to Haykuro's everything went back to being fast and working perfectly :)
[G1 General] Dantehman:
I've been toying aroud with moving over to Haykuro's 1.5Hr3 too but for now im happy with JFs 1.50 and ill stick with it in the meantime

Either way my hats off to all the 1.5 Devs out there churning this stuff out for us :D:D:D:D
[G1 General] Ravok:
I was having some weird issues last night after first flashing to JF's, ended up running through Haykuro and TheDude's builds as well. Then figured out the problem was me. (lol) So I went back to Jf's as it felt faster and "cleaner". Now if I could just get apps2sd working right (can't mess with it now as I'm at work and was dead tired last night after I got it working) tonight I'll be set. :)
[G1 General] lazaro17:
i too tried jf 1.5 (big fan of his work since rc33). I ended up going back to haykuro 1.5hr3. I noticed things were snappier for me on haykuros too. Also I felt like it was more bare bones that jf's. I have no use for spare parts. And I like the option of downloading terminal separately if i want it.

big ups to both developers. i would suggest to try both and make you're pick on personal preference.
[G1 General] Sheldonjace:
I am currently running JF's 1.5 build. Previously running the 1.5Hr3 build.

I made the switch because of how much I loved JF's RC33 and after switching I noticed a dramatic increase in performance and stability. Although I loved the 1.5Hr3 build it did seem a bit laggy. This sort of feedback doesn't really help though because when looking through all these posts every other user says the same thing but vice versa about switching builds.

At this time I'm guessing its personal preference. I did like Haykuru's large amount of Locale settings especially with the ability to switch between the android keyboard and the HTC keyboard which was nice. I also like the "Spare Parts" that JF included and the nice SuperUser application as well. The ability to change and update the window animation speeds and transition speeds was really nice with JF's build.

I've yet to try TheDude's builds but I think I may try some themes on JF's build before I make any switches just yet.

All in All I'm sure they all are great and I'll like them better when I figure out this Apps2sd business. I keep messing up somewhere in the midst of trying to follow the bread crumbs of tutorials spread out everywhere and always missing one crucial step.

PROPS TO ALL THE DEVS FOR THEIR BUILDS!
[G1 General] skaflyer:
I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on this yet... which of the builds include the built-in Exchange support? I am running 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD and loving the Exchange support without having to purchase an app! Do any of the other build include this?
[G1 General] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I can't speak for the others but my tutorial has all the necessary steps laid out except actually partitioning the sd card. If that's what you mean by that one step then it makes sense that no1 else tells how to do it, you're either using windows in which case there's pretty much paragon which seems to screw up more often than not or you're using ubuntu or OSX in which case you can just use gparted(ubuntu) and I believe OSX has a built in partition editor that supports ext2 but can't say for sure.
[G1 General] shaneaus:
Best post to date!

I like them all and appreciate all of the devs for their hard work!

I'm currently running the Dude's build... But, who knows?!? Maybe, I'll run JF's tomorrow....Hmmm, or Haykuro's the day after?!?!

They are all good and I thank them for allowing us all to experience the 1.5 build so long before they official release..

OH, CRAP! That's right! The official OTA non-ADP release hasn't even came out yet for.... like 95% of the users!!!
[G1 General] shadowhacker27:
bHHH

Haykuro is simply the best...he works faster and gets more problems solved in less time. I have had more positive experience with HK builds than JF..
[G1 General] Sheldonjace:
Well I have followed your tutorial before and it is nicely laid out. You are correct I am using Vista and attempting to use Paragon. I thought I correctly partitioned the SD card but I chose this option to make the "Ext2" partition "logical" which I don't know if thats what messed the whole process or not. Also when it came down to the whole "Busybox" situation I couldn't find the real definite steps on doing that either. I need to poor a weekend in to doing it as I keep on trying after work and give up when I need to sleep.

I'm sure this is the wrong thread to be posting all of this in so please all other people ignore our posts and Maximus just PM me if you have any further responses or tips. Thanks bud.

Anyways after seeing what Haykuru's next build will include for updates he's gonna have some pretty SWEET stuff! Check out his blog everyone!
[G1 General] dragon4000:
I have used the dudes and so far so good. I lost a bet with my bro and i was forced to give it away...:mad:

But i will be getting myself another one, this time i'll get the white version and will try either jf or haykuros. Cant wait till friday for my baby to come!!:D:D lol
[G1 General] grenness:
How do I tell which image I'm running?

When the HTC cupcake image was officially released, I went for an upgrade from JF Holiday to Haykuro - backed up sms/mms with MyBackup, and wiped before install (also installed the radio image).

Then, as JF released his image, I just made another backup just in case, then let JFupdater do the install without wiping. Went without any problems (as far as I can tell).

So I'm using JF right now, but keep an eye out for Haykuros constant development...

But a quick question: can I tell from some setting/signature in my phone software exactly which image I am currently running?

Is there an explanation somewhere on the net telling me how to identify the ROM image?

[G1 General] 313:
I've only run haykuro adp1.5hr3 build and jf's build.. they both work fine.. I wasn't able to get apps2sd working on jf's build like I could with haykuros.. but jf's has yet to lock up on me needing a reboot like haykuros SOMETIMES did.. so that edge goes to the jf build..
[G1 General] giantcrazy:
I didn't vote, as I don't think it's fair unless you've tried more than one of the above builds.

I'm running Haykuro's ADP 1.5hr3. So far, it's been pretty good. Much more stable and faster than the 1.1 branch of the firmware, even better than expected. I'm looking forward to the T-Mo version of the firmware to see if they've cleaned it up or optimized it any further.

I had run The Dude's Cupcake 0.8 and it was also pretty good. I'm sure that JF's 1.5 build is good stuff as well.

In short, these guys have all done an awesome job. It's great that we have so many to chose from, and so many looking out for us.
[G1 General] funbacon:
JF is the King of Android :D.
[G1 General] odomandr:
threads like this should be giving the pros and cons of each so we can sit down and compare them. we all have different "needs" and "wants" so saying that one is better is not legit. oh well i tried the magic 1.5 yesterday and then went to JF 1.5 both are very nice. i dont miss IM or amazon what so ever. so its great for me.
[G1 General] lazaro17:
differences

haykuro has mentioned he is coming with an update soon 1.5Hr4

taken from haykuro's blog:

Well after some personally granted vacation time, i’ve decided to release an update.

I realized many people still prefer my builds over JF’s and i’d like to explain quickly the differences between mine and his.

- == same

+ == new in mine

ADP1.5Hr3 / JF1.5

- Root

-/+ Superuser app*

- WifiTether Support

+ Over/Under clocked for better performance / battery life.

+ HTC VK (HTC_CIME), as well as the traditional cupcake keyboard (Latin IME)

+ Wide range of default APN’s.

-/+ Based on ADP1.5**

* = The Superuser app available in JF1.5, at the moment, is newer than the one in my builds. My upcoming release will include the newer Superuser app as well.

** = Another reason i will update, is that there was a new OTA update released shortly after i released my ADP1.5Hr3. The OTA is only slightly newer.

Upcoming features in ADP1.5Hr4:

+ Newer SuperUser app

+ HTC E-Mail client. (Exchange support should work.. more info on this feature as i progress)

+ Based on newer firmware.
[G1 General] i9zero:
Honestly... if you can tell the difference of stability and speed between JF and H builds, fantastic.

For me, my favorite build is the 5.0.2 H build due to lot of the features that ADP and G build lacks. For stability, any ADP is fine. I tried all of ADP builds. I for one found out that they each builds are just as fast and just as stable. I am using the dude's build currently to be lazy as someone had posted somewhere. I wanted the PDFViewer the lazy way along with the weather widget.

[OT] You can always install the key.apk from few of the posts to install the H build vk. The H build vk is great due to having lot of options, but I would rather have it to use the screen vibrate, rather than the entire device vibrate for the feedback like the G/ADP vk.

When ADP 1.5H R4 is released, I will switch again for the exchange support. However, I'm sure I'll keep switching because there already is a German OTA that's floating around, which I'm sure will spark newer builds based on it.

[G1 General] chidave09:
if you want the dude's pdf viewer and jf build, install dude first, backup all your apps with this line:

cp -r /data/app /sdcard/app

then install jf build and install the app from the sd card
[G1 General] missxoash:
Is this in adb or terminal?? : )
[G1 General] smurphete:
have you actually tried that? Wouldn't that be the same as running adb.install on pdfviewer.apk? In which I have tried, installs properly but when actually using it fails this doesn't make sense because it references the file on htc framework library.
[G1 General] Nikeem24:
Have you all tried The Dude's new build 1.0 its the best out of all his builds.
[G1 General] siriuxs:
It is possible sticky this thread ?
[G1 General] JaboJG:
TheDude's builds are the best. His new 1.1 is kick ass. It has all the best features of JF's build plus support for themes and more!
[G1 General] vettejock99:
When I actually set up this poll I never said why I voted for Haykuro's version. I tried the Dude's, but I have had no problems with Haykuro's (thus no big driver to change) and I came back to Haykuro's because to the best of my knowledge it is the only one which allows you to use the data connection to browse while on a call which is BIG for me as much as I am on the phone. Now if we could just get Steve to release r4 with integrated Exchange :)

You may want to add the Haykuro 5.02 h build to the poll.

I like and am using the Dude's 1.1 build. It has more extra "goodies" as where JF has more of the original ADP 1.5

Also if your running Apps2SD on ANY build it wont matter which 1 it is your going to get ALOT of force close errors
[G1 General] manup456:
I say the Dude's build I tried the other two,and features plus stability is why i stick with the Dude's build it has both. JF build is to basic and close to the original build and H builds are to international for me.

Dude build for me all the way. :D
[G1 General] rascal00:
The dude build is great. The extra screens are pretty sweet and the extended launcher. I haven't had any problems with stability even with A2SD. I keep my phone clocked at 528 MHz though because otherwise it is incredibly choppy. The PDF Viewer is key for me. The only thing missing imo is exchange support but I think it is nice not to have my work emails on my phone.

I've tried Haykuro, Dude and JF builds and as far as how much I like either, its a tie all the way around, each having something to like about. However, the Haykuro builds were always slower for me than the Dude and JF builds. The Dude builds (last I tried was .93) were very buggy compaired to Haykuro and JF seems to lack some widgets and that HTC keyboard I love but is by far the smoothest and fastest of the three (for me).

Right now I'm running JF 1.5 and I'll most likely stick with that until I read about something that really grabs my attention. Thanks to all three builders for getting me cupcake ahead of everyone else with a G1 I've ever met lol.
